    Though this episode aired and was presumably taped after Nirvana 'broke', you'll notice very little Seattle stuff here. Grunge would soon dominate the 120 Minutes playlist, but during this particular episode the videos leaned heavily toward industrial (Ministry, Nitzer Ebb), British shoegaze, and indie rock like Urge Overkill. The last half hour of the episode contains some curious Christmas music from Hoodoo Gurus and The Wedding Present.
